Profile

A scholarship student at the exclusive Drachenblatt Academy in Germany, August Kohler was an intelligent student with a focus on mechanical engineering, but in a school for the rich, his lack of wealth led to him being bullied and ostracized, causing him to isolate himself from others. August never expected himself to make friends after this, but by chance he learned of a rumor and partook in it, gaining himself the power of Persona, the manifestation of one's ego, from the terrifying magical realm known as the Mirror Forest. Using hammers as a weapon and armed with the Persona known as the Tin Soldier, which uses powerful fire attacks and a gun-leg to fight off its foes, as well as powerful buffs to assist August's allies, he adventures into the Mirror Forest to discover what is going on in there and put a stop at it, and likely with the help of new allies, as well. However, it's not going to be easy! August has a habit of lying about things he deems unimportant, and despite using it as his primary elemental attack, he's also very weak to fire! August will have to rely on the strength of allies and bonds, if he's going to get anywhere in his goal!

Disadvantages

PERSONA COMBAT: Using a Persona is taxing on both the wielder's mind and spirit, and every use wears the wielder down more and more. After battle, August needs to rest in order to regain his lost energy, and during long combat, there's a chance of him collapsing completely from strain.

HABITUAL LIAR: August tends to lie about minor things, which can put him in trouble depending on who he lies to. He won't lie about the most important situations, but he will lie about things he doesn't think matters, and will definitely lie about his own social status whenever he believes he can get away with it.

SOCIAL SITUATIONS: August doesn't have the best grasp on social situations, and can be incredibly blunt. He will usually put his own needs over the needs of others, and will speak his mind, even when it might hurt somebody's feelings.

SHARED WEAKNESS: Anything that harms the Persona, in turn harms August. He will feel any damage done to his Persona, and fire attacks will harm him just like they would the Persona, much worse than any average person.

STILL A STUDENT: Despite being a superpowered being fighting eldritch horrors in an alternate world, August is also still a teenager, and must deal with things such as class, homework, and keeping his double life a secret. This can put a lot of stress on him, as well as limit the time he can fight during important school weeks.

BULLIED: Due to being a poor student in a school full of wealthy teenagers, August has been extensively bullied for his status. This has led to him becoming more withdrawn, and isolating himself from others due to feeling he's a burden. It takes a bit to get him out of his shell as a result, and he will often avoid social situations when he can.

FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE: Despite the Tin Soldier's use of fire attacks, it is simultaneously weak to them, taking more damage than the average person. This also applies to the Tin Soldier's own fire attacks, which can be turned against it to seriously harm it.
